  • other countries do it all the time. have been for the last 25 years.

    why is healthcare such a difficult problem to solve for in the US? because it’s being used as a political wedge to keep Americans focused on it instead of the blatant corruption of the bourgeoisie.

    socialized systems work, full stop. the only reason why they fail is because of corruption and greed of the power that is supposed to protect and serve the people.


  • I suck at creating things

    how can I steal ideas in the most complicated way and make them seem like I did them?

    your comparison of AI to calculators is simple and wrong. your perception of your grandfathers position on calculators is also wrong.

    in studies it was found that students that had access to calculators performed worse on tests that banned their use. so yes, calculators made people more error prone and less likely to successfully calculate for themselves. the reason for this being far more related to AI than you probably imagine.

    the human brain learns through patterns and long term repetitions. it’s similar to how machine learning happens. multiple failures compound together to form a coherent strategy and skill. AI(LLM)'s are trained in the same way.

    so, in essence, by using an AI to generate based off of stolen content it’s similar to using a calculator for your brain. you’re robbing yourself of the opportunity to grow and expand your horizons as a creator, and you’re supporting a system of theft that only diminishes the hard work and efforts of those it stole from.



  • this is going to sound like gatekeeping, because it is.

    yunohost allows anyone that couldn’t find the difference between /dev/null and their asshole the ability to deploy services on hardware. be it locally or remote VPC.

    everything about that goes against the tenants that created the selfhost movement.

    it also causes problems when those same ignorant “hosters” reach out to the community for help and again, can’t comprehend the technical nature of the issue at hand. they are akin to a plant that requires too much water and too much sun in the garden, and I generally pluck them out and toss them into the mulch pile.

    that said, I’m sure there’s plenty of people who use yuno that have a technical background but lack the time/effort to DIY. my issue isn’t with them.


  • personally I’m a fan of personal freedoms. I don’t believe that healthcare should be mandated by the federal government(however I do believe that universal healthcare should be available).

    I don’t think firearms should require registration, but I do believe that firearm ownership should be licensed and graded based on training and experience.

    I also believe that prostitution should be legalized and taxed no different than weed or alcohol.

    like I said, some of his ideas were unbaked but they actually made more sense to me than any other candidates at the time.









  • used to be a Ron Paul supporter. some of his ideas were genuinely forward thinking. overall though, he was just a pawn to bring libertarians to the conservative table.

    I burned his book because I didn’t want anyone else to get their hands on it and think he was anything but a charlatan.
